Dave Grohl suggests new cover art for Nevermind is on the way
The proposed change follows the lawsuit involving the original cover art
One of the most iconic album covers for one of the bestselling albums of all time might be getting a makeover. Former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl recently spoke to The Times about the 30th anniversary of their 1991 Nevermind album, and the lawsuit filed earlier this year from the child who was photographed for the cover, Spencer Elden. He also hinted that we might be getting some new cover art.
Elden has famously appeared on the cover Nevermind for thirty years now as the nude infant swimming in a pool with a dollar bill dangling in front of him. In August, the now-adult Elden filed a lawsuit against all the surviving members of Nirvana, Courtney Love, various record labels, and the executor and managers of Kurt Cobain’s estate, seeking damages for what he calls “child porn” and “child sexual exploitation.”
